US 36 was closed between Federal Boulevard and Sheridan Boulevard early on Wednesday for an investigation conducted by Adams County deputies.

The sheriff's office told CBS News Colorado none of the suspects were hurt in the chase or the eventual maneuver used to stop the vehicle they were in, and none of the deputies were hurt when shots were fired or when following the suspects to stope them.  

The stretch between Sheridan and Federal was closed for several hours before all lanes of traffic were open in both directions just before 7:45 a.m.

The closure was affecting RTD bus schedules on US-36 as well. Check the route schedules on RTD's website to stay updated. 

There was no immediate information about what led to the encounter with the suspects between deputies, or where they first ran into each other.
